( out now on Drag City ) Drag City reissued this rare 1973 record on all three formats. When it's boring, it's Kate Bush singing hokey Hawaiian songs. But when it's not, it's tripped-out island music—ethereal and mesmerizing. Guitarist Patrick Cockett and Margaret Morgan were living in the mountains above Honolulu in the early 70s when they met Carlos Pardeiro, a Uruguayan who'd come in search of waves. Morgan and Cockett had both spent time in California, so they brought 60s continental rock to the table (Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson [...]

Falling into the nebulous category of "legendary album you've never heard of", this is a collection of songs written by a Hawaiian duo (in the loosest sense of the word as they were basically two mates hanging out and these things were created along the way), recorded in the early 1970s over a short period of time, barely promoted and never re-pressed until Drag City made the decision to do so. History lesson over. These Trails - These Trails You'd be correct [...]

These Trails was an acid folk group who released a very rare record in 1973. The lp was released by Sinergia and is probably one of the best Hawaiian lps along with Mu. Prominent members of the group were Margaret Morgan (vocals, guitar and dulcimer), Patrick Cockett (guitar, slide guitar and vocals) and Dave Choy (arp synthesizer, recorder, arrangements and final mix). Margaret Morgan handles most...

These Trails - Rapt Attention 1973 All I know about These Trails is that they were a folk duo from Hawaii. They released one self-titled album in 1973 that is now quite rare and changes hands for around $300. I've heard a lot of obscure folk and this is easily one of the most lovable albums of the genre.
